Approved Used Audi Warranty

An Approved Audi Warranty offers more than just peace of mind. It gives you the assurance and provides you with many of the benefits you would expect from a new car.

Cars up to 8 years old

Rest assured that if a sudden failure should arise with a covered mechanical or electrical component on your vehicle, the covered component will be repaired or replaced during the term of the warranty.

Our Audi branches at Blackburn, Carlisle, Crewe, Preston, Stafford and Stoke Audi prepare all our vehicles to the highest possible standard; however, should a fault occur with a factory fitted, mechanical or electrical component, you can rest assured that your vehicle will be covered, subject to the terms and conditions of your warranty.

Your Approved Used Car Warranty can be further extended, provided your car is maintained by an Audi Authorised Centre. We will write to you 4 weeks before the warranty expiry date to explain how this can be done but so long as you maintain your vehicle correctly, you can renew this every 12 months* thereafter.

There is no limit to the number of claims that can be made and no limit to the value of claims up to the purchase price paid for the Approved Used Car.

All replacement parts and labour will be paid for with the following exceptions:

• Routine servicing (all parts replaced associated with routine servicing are excluded)
• All bodywork, glass (including heated rear screens) and seals
• All adjustments, cambelt timing, diesel pump timing or cleaning

• Vehicles modified in any way from the original manufacturer’s specification.
• Any loss where the speedometer has been tampered with, altered, disconnected or where the mileage of the covered vehicle cannot be verified; or where you or anyone else acting on your behalf acts in a way that prevents us from exercising our right to inspect the covered vehicle under this cover.
